HIGH ABRASION RESISTANT AND HIGH CORROSION RESISTANT ALLOY AND HEAT SPPAY POWDER

摘要

A novel iron based alloy is disclosed which is characterized by high resistance to wear and corrosion. The alloy consists essentially of 0 to 40% chromium, 1 to 40% molybdenum, 1 to 15% copper, 0.2 to 5% boron, and 0.01 to 2% carbon; the balance being incidental impurities and at least 30% iron, with the molydenum being at least 10% if the boron is greater than 2%. The alloy is preferably in the form of a powder for thermal spraying, and coatings produced thereby may have an amorphous structure.
